Well, I'm a little slow to get to things but I finally tried kernel-power v49 and CSSU.

1)When over clocking there was good improvement in starting up LDXE. For example when increasing clockspeed form 600Mhz to 900Mhz the time to start up LXDE went from about 30s to 20s give or take a second or two. This was impressive! Where I was disappointed was that if I start up OO writer from LXDE there was not much improvement. Is this mainly due to RAM limitations or any idea if having the dedicated partition will further improve. Regardless, I will next try to make the dedicated partition for Easy Debian on sdcard. As I am a bit inexperienced at this would someone recommend some posts to follow instructions. Also, any caveats?


2)Just an observation in re CSSU. If I start ED in portrait the LXDE actually appeared in portrait for a second but then went to landscape without me rotating the N900. Doesn't really matter as it is hard to use the HWKB in portrait anyways!
